A beira Baixa railway line was today, at 15:30, interrupted between Santa Margarida (Constância) and Tramagal (Abrantes), Santarém district, due to the bad weather, which also affects the urban trains of Lisbon, said CP – Comboios de Portugal.
“Linha da Beira Baixa – The railway service is interrupted between Santa Margarida and Tramagal due to a fall in the barrier caused by bad weather”, CP said, at a situation at 15:30 on the constraints on the movement of trains as a result of the passage of depression Charles.
Due to adverse weather conditions, CP also noted the suppression of urban trains in Lisbon, indicating that “the Alcântara Terra – Castanheira do Ribatejo railway service was abolished between Campolide and Alcântara Terra”.
In addition to these constraints, the company stressed that four Intercidades (IC) trains were abolished today, passing through the 25 April Bridge, during the time interval identified as more critical, as it had already announced on Tuesday.
The four trains affected were the IC 670, from Faro at 09:15 and from Lisbon-Oriente; the IC 698, from Évora at 11:30 and from Lisbon-Oriente; the IC 790, from Lisbon-Oriente at 13:35 and from Évora; and the IC 572, from Lisbon-Oriente at 14:02 and from Faro.
In this context, according to CP, there will be no alternative road transport, as the forecast weather conditions may also affect road traffic.
According to CP, customers who have already purchased tickets to travel on Alfa Pendular, Intercities, International, Interregional and Regional trains may request reimbursement, in the total amount of the ticket purchased, or their free exchange to another train of the same category and in the same class.
“ In both cases up to 15 minutes before the departure of the train from the station of origin inscribed on your ticket”, indicated the company, in response to the bad weather vacancy.
Continental Portugal is now on alert until 11:59 p.m. due to the depression Charles, which caused about 200 occurrences of Madeira last night, mainly floods, falls from trees and collapses.
The government decided to close non-essential schools and public services in all districts, recommending people to limit travel and, if possible, to telework.
Until 11:00 today, more than three hundred flights have been cancelled in Lisbon, Faro, Madeira and Porto.
According to the Portuguese Institute of the Sea and Atmosphere (IPMA), which issued several red warnings due to rain and wind, depression changed its characteristics and on its way to the continent, this morning, there is a reduction in the intensity of wind and gusts. There's still a lot of rain ahead.
During the night the Greater Lisbon and the Setúbal Peninsula were the most affected areas, especially with floods, but the Faro district is the only one that keeps red warnings for both rain and wind.
